Discover the region

Geographically, Obertrubach lies at the foot of the Franconian Switzerland-Veldenstein Forest Nature Park. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills, meadows and forests as well as impressive rocks and caves. This unique location makes the village a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing or cycling.

One of the most famous sights is the ruins of the 12th century Neideck Castle on a steep rocky outcrop above the village. The baroque parish church of St. Veit with its magnificent interior is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights include the annual castle festival at Whitsun as well as various concerts and theatre performances in summer.

For gourmets, there are numerous culinary specialities to discover: for example, try the Franconian Sauerbraten or the famous beer from one of the local breweries.

When it rains, you can find out about the history of the region in museums such as the Trubachtal Museum of Local History or Pommersfelden Castle, or relax with a massage in a wellness hotel.

In autumn, the brightly coloured foliage attracts many tourists, while in winter, ice skating on frozen lakes or skiing in the nearby mountains is the order of the day.

No matter what time of year, Obertrubach and its surroundings are always worth a visit. Visit this idyllic village and be enchanted by its beauty!
